All.... Roamin' private schools get an exemption on my unhappiness with stadium seating issue. They are self funding as you know and do what they can. ☺️ SHG by the way didn't even have a field to play on until 2012. QND's upgrade s look quite nice. And in old school tradition I believe I read somewhere they still allow fans to sit in chairs (or stand) around the field.
Knock on wood I will be at the game parked on Van Buren close to the away fans entrance with the Cyclone flag flying high week four. Even closer to the party house. 😇 I haven't a clue on what type of fan crowd SHG will bring. The times have changed a bit. Ratsy P.S. Go Raiders and go SHG!
Correct, many if not most, QND fans still stand/sit along the north endzone/corners. Larger away crowds tend to take up the southwest corner/endzone on occassion. If I could find a picture of the old Pittsfield/QND games back in the late 90s you could see why we called it the northern swamp. But boy 4,000 (so they say) packed that thing in 97, 4 rows deep all the way around.
Some may know QND's athletic setup, part of the game field, practice fields, and softball used to be the city dump way back up until the late 70s, maybe early 80s. In the AM during two-a-days we'd call it the "mist" but in reality it was stink seeping up from beneath us. Smelled terrible. Even from when I played in the early 2000s we had a dump of a setup. Ask Rochester about 2010... but since the upgrades have been plentiful and it's really a nice facility. Proud of it for sure.
As for crowds these days, the same goes at QND. Some weeks it's great, others it stinks. I'm hoping the move to the CS8 will attract many back to 10th and Jackson for this year. Granted the product on the field may be lacking...
